How to stop the locks from being broken early(Warmaster)

[Cyborg Superman]

The locks shouldn't be breakable until you have 18/20 guys in the Arkbreak, it's not bloody rocket science.
But that doesn't stop peeps hanging out up top or guys leaving slime trails while they crawl around on the bottom floor and if you do get into one that doesn't fill up within a few minutes you can always leave.

Now that's a million scrip idea

TRION if your there. listen to this guy

Yeah I've had a couple of ideas over the last couple of days and I'm feeling quite tired now.

I thought up the best way to keep the warmaster's lock from being broken to early. We need to leave the volge alone in the top floor phase. If we all just hang back and let the noobs and a**holes try to take them on alone. A few of them will die more than once and maybe even rage quit. They need to learn that they can't take them alone and to wait for backup. So tell your friends and clanmates to hang back and leave the volge alone til the room is full.

I was with you inside the arkbreak when you asked to leave the Volge alone. I thought to myself "good idea" and I stood on top of one of the platforms and didn't shoot a bullet. But the rest simply either didn't read what you typed on the chat screen or they simply didn't care. After that someone typed "So much for waiting huh". It is frustrating every time i try to active my xbox smartglass on my phone trying to type "Stop Shooting the Locks!!! We need more people". And by the time I finish typing the sentence the WM is already let loose. Again..It's always people who either don't visit the forums, whether are noobs or not or either they do it because they simply don't care and take this "Nobody tells me how to play this game" attitude. They just don't understand what does it mean to play CO-OP.

I solo or solo'd (gotta think that that is past tense since I don't do it but like once or twice a week at late night hours when the server is a ghost town). I solo the outside and the first floor inside and die a few times, but not enough to really make me not want to break the locks when I get done.

When I finish those two areas I get to the warmaster area and since I spent 4 ark break batteries, I say it this way... I'm breaking the locks and I could care less if anyone else shows up and/or wants to complain about it. If you really wanted to do the warmaster, then you'd have helped me call down the major arkbreak and/or helped me with the outside and inside.

The people that actually help me with those I give them a warning that if no one shows up after 10 mins, I'm breaking the locks... I will not wait ever again for people to decide they want to do the major arkbreaks and show up 11 mins or even 2 hours after I land in the warmaster room.

If I land in a warmaster room that is already having people there, I'm sorry but I spent my 4 ark batteries and my rules apply. The locks are being broken. Funny how that always works out for me getting into the top 5 on the leaderboard.

I visit the forums, and I could careless. No offense, but I don't do other people's major arkbreaks. Either I put down all the batteries or let someone put down one or two of their own, but I warn them when they enter that I'm not the waiting patient type of person. The locks will be broken, either 10 mins of waiting or less. This may not have earned me friends, but since I play when others aren't doing major arkfalls well, dead server no need to play by other rules... My rules apply in force then.

Oh, I play co-op like... healing, assisting, etc. being a team player. But put me with a vested interest in something that I find so boring as to not even enjoy it any, then I will not be the kind and caring person I am when I'm in a co-op map. I'll be true to my own rules and follow them.

Your Welcome bro. Now go take your nap. When you wake up you'll get a juice box and some cookies

Where are those cookies, homey? I'm HUNGRY.

The thing is, there is an 80% chance that you ARE doing somebody else's Arkbreak. this game does not create a new Arkbreak instance for the person who placed the spikes. Everybody tends to be put into a random break instance, that is most likely already in progress upon entry. Btw with the new scoring system that is going into place with Dlc 4, the lonewolves will be penalized big time.

As for top score, at the moment you don't need to actually be doing armor damage to the warmaster. Just use a detonator, or volge weapon. They give you plenty of damagge points but don't really help kill the Wm unless 99% of the people are using them.

Oh trust me, I know that on the alpha server. HATE IT AND SO DISLIKE IT THAT... I can see a reason to burn my copies of Defiance, game and show, in the fires of uninstallation and shredding the disks permanently. *Sighs heavily*

Solo'ing a minor arkbreak and a major arkbreak was always fun for me, but the major arkbreak and the minor arkbreak and the volge sieges are a pain in the... (PITA like), especially since to solo them means some degree of dying especially if my character is low EGO level. I didn't get a good enough shield for soloing the minor and major arkbreaks until I was EGO rating 2000 or so on the main server, so trying it with my newly created alpha character is quickly showing me that I'll not be making any new characters if this scoring system actually comes. I would rathernot play the game than to play it then especially since I prefer to solo everything... I don't like co-op maps or anything.

But hay, one thing it doesn't affect is the drops that the monsters drop like the viscera and the troopers. So, still a reason for me to solo the minor arkbreaks and the major arkbreaks up to that warmaster, wannabe endgame boss.

Ya'll do know that 90% of this game is co op. The new system is just to remind you. I'm glad they are changing it to give some of the less hardcore players a chance to enjoy the game and not just stand around whlie everyone is stealing kills from each other just so they can brag about the extra 1000 points they got in the leaderboard. People join warmaster fights, minor arkbreaks, and co op maps and forget that we need to work as a team and not just run off and do our own thing. I hate it when i'm doing a co op map and someone runs off ahead of everyone like they are the king of Defiance and don't need anybody. Those same people get mad when they die and no one wants to help them off the ground. I always vote to kick those guys from the group. Cuz the name is in the title, Co op. Don't do co op things if u don't want to co op with people. If you want to play solo. Go play a solo game

Ya'll do know that 90% of this game is co op.

The game isn't even remotely 90% co-op. Co-op content means that you literally cannot do it unless you are grouped together as a team. In point of fact the majority of the game content is not co-op. It's single player with lots of other players around you doing the same content. There are plenty of times with the current state of the game where you can end up not having any players sharing that content including Conflict Sites and Minor Arkfalls.

When popular events like Incursions are going on, attendance at all other events can become sparse. Coupled with Major Arkbreaks pulling away additional players, you can find plenty of unattended Minor Arkfalls and Conflict Sites, even during peak play times. Some of us don't care about Incursions, Major Arkbreaks, or both. If we want to get some return on our investment vis a vis rewards for our time and efforts we're going toave to attend events and engage content that doesn't interest us. The alternative is to engage the other content and get little to no rewards for it.

This all assumes that the new scoring system won't also run into problems because of the Development Team's failure to address the long existing scaling issues for massive events. If it does run into problems then you'll be seeing even more players unhappy with the consequences of the implementation of the new scoring system because their rewards will only be a bit better than those of the players who are outside of these events.

Minor arkbreaks and conflict sites will give 0 to 1 keys if you solo them while Incursions and Major Arkbreaks are going on. If you really know how to milk the scoring system you might have a slight chance at getting 2 keys. The quickmatch co-op map often can't even find enough players to start you up on any of the co-op maps whenever there's an Incursion and Major Arkbreaks going on, especially during off peak times. Even previously popular events like Afflicted Sieges and Major Arkfalls have low attendance on weeknights when the other events are going on.

Trion has implemented content in a manner that's resulted in low to no attendance at some events while simulateously creating zergs for the other events. Both of these may result in extremely problematic and undesireable results for the player community.

No offense taken. Feeling offended on the internet is like feeling offended by your dog because he was barking very loud. So you're interested in something that yet you find so boring to not even enjoy it. So why even bother to put the interest anyway. I can understand where you're coming from. You like to choose where and when to be cooperative...or not. If you're in a dead server and there's nobody around and you put the 4 batteries to activate the arkfall. That's totally fine by me. But when you're not on a dead server and you put the 4 batteries, I haven't seen anything written even in the fine print that says My batteries, My arkfall, My Rules. That's not been true to your rules. That's just being plain greedy.And that's simply not how it works. Same with the minor arkfalls. But if you wanna spend your 4 batteries on a live server. Hey be my guest and go for it. Trying to make your own rules in this kind of gaming environment isn't always the best strategy.
